#2 It would really smart if someone sent them a snarky letter accusing them of being racist and ignorant for thinking that all Moslems are so childlike and unsophisticated that they have to be patronized.

It could continue by pointing out that many Moslems hold advanced degrees is serious studies from universities far more prestigious than UVA, and sneer at their sensibilities, thinking of them as little more than crude burgeoisie with pretensions to journalism as an easy degree, purchased with their parents' money.

It could conclude by pointing out that their hypocrisy of sneering at Jesus is equally offensive to Moslems, who see Jesus as a prophet; and also shows their general ignorance and lack of respect for both religions.

#3 "I don't think at this point they would run a cartoon mocking Mohammed the way they did," she said, "putting Jesus up on a cross and saying the blessed Mary has [a] venereal disease."

A classic case of:
